Little Johnny Johnson wants an M-16
Sister Susie wants an uzi and a submachine
Kids are making wishes, and wartime strategies
singing Happy Happy Birthday to the Prince of Peace
Buy war toys for Christmas, have a happy holiday
Santa traded in his red cap for a green beret
Teach those happy little children to be hellcats when they play
And have a very merry military day
Janie wants the latest deadly laser gun
Little Tommy asked his mommy for his own B-1
Kids are roasting chestnuts on burning effigies
Singing Happy Happy Birthday to the Prince of Peace
Buy war toys for Christmas, have a happy holiday
Santa knows a missile toes the line in every way
Teach those happy little children to be hellcats when they play
And have a very merry military day
We’ve all got our fingers crossed
For another Cold War frost
Sing, “Oh by golly, let’s be jolly
Deck the Holly-caust”
Darling Danny Simpson armed his own brigade
Staged a coup and overthrew the Christmas Day parade
Kids are dropping napalm on their Christmas trees
And hiding chocolate-covered cherry bombs in a box of Sees
Buy war toys for Christmas, have a happy holiday
Santa slayed his reindeer, now he flies the Enola Gay
Teach those happy little children to be hellcats when they play
And have a very merry military day
And have a very scary military day
Singing Happy Happy Birthday to the Prince of Peace
Sister Susie wants an uzi and a submachine
Kids are making wishes, and wartime strategies
singing Happy Happy Birthday to the Prince of Peace
Buy war toys for Christmas, have a happy holiday
Santa traded in his red cap for a green beret
Teach those happy little children to be hellcats when they play
And have a very merry military day
Janie wants the latest deadly laser gun
Little Tommy asked his mommy for his own B-1
Kids are roasting chestnuts on burning effigies
Singing Happy Happy Birthday to the Prince of Peace
Buy war toys for Christmas, have a happy holiday
Santa knows a missile toes the line in every way
Teach those happy little children to be hellcats when they play
And have a very merry military day
We’ve all got our fingers crossed
For another Cold War frost
Sing, “Oh by golly, let’s be jolly

Teach those happy little children to be hellcats when they play
And have a very merry military day
And have a very scary military day
Singing Happy Happy Birthday to the Prince of Peace
